Potato - by Potato Sack

I have never been able to hear, but I have, well, good eyesight. I may have amazing sight, but it is difficult to see in this potato sack.

They don't care about your sleep. They are unaware of your need for coffee. They send Instant Messages the minute you log on. Their day began hours ago. Children come into your office. They don't know what time it is. They are not at school. They don't care you are on the phone. You wave to them. The day does not care if it's an unfriendly wave.
